Chris Brown and Rihanna are still together despite a radio station claiming the rapper told them they’ve split.

Fans were shocked when the Don’t Wake Me Up singer told Los Angeles-based radio station Power 106 he was no longer seeing the Barbadian beauty.

But it’s now been revealed that the radio station combined two different interviews with Brown – one from last year and one from March 29 this year.

The interview isn’t supposed to air until April 1 but the station had tweeted snippets from DJ Big Boy’s chat with Chris.

Appearing to announce their break-up, the hip hop station posted: ‘”Are you still w/ @Rihanna?” @ChrisBrown: “Uh,no-that’s the short answer” just now to @BigBoy POWER 106 LA @TuneIn.’

But a source close to the situation tells US gossip site Hollywood Life: ‘The Power 106 clip [that is going around the internet] is partly new, but then it cuts to old footage, and then back to new again.

‘You’ll notice he’s wearing two different sets of clothes [in the video].’

The station’s tweet fooled fans and was followed up with another message hinting there would be a ‘big announcement on Monday’ which only fuelled the fire.

A spokesperson for Power 106 has since come forward to address the rogue tweet.

‘Chris Brown’s comment of that he’s not with Rihanna was from when Chris was here last, which Big Boy used to set up the question he asked Chris this morning,’ the spokesperson said.

Brown brutally assaulted Rihanna in 2009 but the pair are thought to have reconciled last year after collaborating on music.

They are even rumoured to be getting hitched this summer with Riri swapping the usual wedding dress for a bikini.
